I have an english exam coming up and this is one of the focus questions that I have to answer.

Im unsure on how much more a shelter is that just a protection from the environment, so could someone please give me some guidance.

Yes but usually the word that describes the type of shelter would precede the word shelter. For example homeless shelter and animal shelter. Hope this helps answer your question. If you ever need to find the definition of any English word the Webster's dictionary is online or in print and is a great resource.

As far as I know (I am not a native speaker, but I've used English a lot both professionally and personally and studied it for a long time) it is any place that offers safety against any harmful conditions, including in metaphorical terms: a baby that finds shelter in his mother's arms or a library is a shelter for free minds

Good luck!
